Oregon State vs. Utah Betting Odds & Picks: Defenses to Steal the Show.

 

The No. Utah enters the rematch on a three-game winning streak after dispatching Arizona State in its Pac opener. Cameron Rising threw for yards and two touchdowns — completing 12 straight passes at one point. The Utes held the Sun Devils to just six rushing yards — seventh fewest in a single game in Utah history — and gave up only one touchdown for a third consecutive game. The Beavers , come into Salt Lake City fresh off their own impressive defensive performance.

Turnovers ultimately foiled the Beavers' upset bid. USC scored 10 of its 17 points following interceptions. The Trojans were able to reel in four interceptions while finishing the game with zero turnovers. Oregon State leads the series Utah has won seven of the last 10 games between the two teams.

Kickoff: Saturday, Oct. Chance Nolan had a tough 60 minutes against USC's defense. Nolan passed for yards and tossed four interceptions while completing only 17 passes.

In his first three games, Nolan had passed for at least yards and had thrown seven touchdown passes against only two interceptions. The Beavers will need the junior to bounce back to keep Utah's defense from keying on stopping the run.

Losing tight end Luke Musgrave to injury hasn't helped the passing game. Musgrave had yards on 11 catches in his first two games before getting sidelined.

The duo combined for just seven catches and 62 receiving yards in the loss to USC. Deshaun Fenwick similarly struggled against USC. Fenwick took care of the ball, but he had a tough time moving the chains. He gained only 29 yards on 11 carries. The junior is a capable playmaker as evidenced by his yard rushing game against Fresno State.

If Fenwick is ineffective against Utah, Jam Griffin may get another shot to show what he can do. Griffin had a breakout performance against USC, averaging 7. The Georgia Tech transfer rushed for a career-high 84 yards. Losing Brant Kuithe to a season-ending knee injury against Arizona State dealt a significant blow to the Utah offense. The tight end led the Utes in receiving yardage in and '21 and was the team leader in receptions this season.

He was an integral part of Utah's two-tight end sets along with Dalton Kincaid. The good news is Kuithe has a redshirt year available and could return to the Utes in if he chooses to bypass the NFL draft once again. Kincaid will take on a greater role in Kuithe's absence. He already leads Utah with yards and four touchdowns. Junior tight end Thomas Yassmin will fill Kuithe's spot at the other tight end slot.

Yassmin had a career-long yard catch against the Sun Devils and has the potential to be an explosive playmaker. As long as Rising remains healthy, both players will have a chance to make their mark.

A battle could be brewing in Utah's backfield again this season. Tavion Thomas seemingly secured his spot as the team's primary back after becoming a 1,yard rusher last season. But Thomas sat out during the first half against Arizona State due to an internal issue, according to Utes head coach Kyle Whittingham.

Glover tallied 48 yards on 13 carries. Jackson slid over from quarterback to running back and will stay at that position through the rest of the season. Oregon State will need another herculean defensive effort to hang with Utah. The Utes are going to make it extremely difficult for the Beavers to move the ball.

Utah leads the Pac in total defense Oregon State is capable of slowing the Utes with Kuithe out for the season. The difference for Utah though is a defense that has not allowed a touchdown in nine of the team's last 12 quarters of football.
